“Am I able to surf and compete and do all this media stuff and keep my head screwed on?” Most of us just don’t go through it in the spot light or public eye. Life’s choices are just as hard and I think all girls go through the same doubt and challenges.

Coffey family surf tv#
I’m at one now at 31… I just quit my high-profile TV production job, sold my stuff and am about to leave my home in Australia to retrain as a heli-snowboard guide in Alaska (Cooler mag wrote an awesome article on my planned adventure). I think we all find ourselves at these cross roads of self discovery and decisions. Do they follow their dreams of being on the WSL World Tour (of which both girls a VERY capable), or so they pursue a media career in television or turn their hand to fashion and/or modelling (of which they both would very likely excel). Check below for more deets about Ruby-Lee Coffey. As in 2022, Ruby-Lee Coffeys age is 22 years. Born on March 10, 2000, Ruby-Lee Coffey hails from Sydney, Australia. I could tell then that they (Ellie and to some extent younger sister Holly) were at a cross roads. Australian surfer girl who dominates Instagram alongside her four siblings who are all surfers as well. We went for breakfast, surfed Snapper Rocks, debated the pressures of women’s surfing, did a short video interview, laughed and then discussed ideas on where the girl’s careers could go, both with their surfing talents and their huge combined social media presence.
I’ve been lucky enough to spend time with the whole Coffey family on the Gold Coast where they now live, through a production project I headed up. 0 (0) Successful shaper and longtime Santa Cruz stalwart Ward Coffey has carved out pardon the pun a fine legacy in an area renowned for great surfers, shapers and board builders. “I think it’s important to be yourself and not who everyone thinks your are” Here’s a great video on their life ‘Raised by the sea’). I greatly admire the brave choices that parents Jason and Kim Coffey made to bring up their family of 5 kids on the road, traveling Australia’s East coast and surfing every day (mum Kim hurt her neck in a skating accident, so they sold their Curl Curl home, brought a bus and raised the whole family on the road and at Crescent Head’s world class point break. I’m a big fan of the whole Coffey family. He’s seen a lot of cultural shifts both inside and out of surfing and holds a unique perspective. Growing up in the East Bay, he learned to surf at Ocean Beach, later moving to Santa Cruz where he founded Ward Coffey Shapes and raised a family. Ward first paddled out in 1973, tagging along with a group of older friends.
Coffey family surf series#
This video series is a BEAUTIFULLY shot little glimpse into Ellie-Jean Coffey’s life and some of the struggles she is going through as a young 20 year old girl. She’s brave to discuss these challenges in a content series like this in such a move away (a well needed move away), from the other women’s surf content out right now. Surfing and family go hand-in-hand in the Coffey house.
